As I sat poolside soaking up the sun and aimlessly scrolling on Instagram recently, the words “Life is Generous” popped up in my feed. These three words were followed by the reminder that if we’re open to it, we can always begin again as many times as needed. While drinking rum punch and eating jerk chicken, every molecule in my mind agreed. Afterall, the year had gotten off to a tumultuous start but in this moment, gratitude had fully opened my pores and made me focus on all the good that life has gifted me with. Beautiful views, the smell of the ocean and even if for just a little while, the gift of not having a care in the world. Ah mean, how could life possibly get better than this?

Ever since returning to New York there has been an infectious energy in the air. I have gotten more calls and messages about homes being purchased, friends being promoted, dreams being achieved, prayers being answered that were whispered years ago and the list goes on. Watching college acceptances being announced, lines crossing and knowing that graduations on many levels are about to be in full swing causes my inner happy cup to overflow. What a time to be alive?

Don’t get me wrong, things aren’t perfect. Yet somewhere between the solar eclipse, earthquake in NY, the pink moon, and life just life-ing, these happier moments of celebration created a welcomed shift in focus. As I ‘like’ the more positive news on my social media channels it causes the algorithms to send me even more happy news and my heart says “yes, give me more”. This made me also think of how the algorithm of our minds also influences what news and energy life serves us and how much of it we are given to digest as a result of our focus. Is this not just another example of the law of attraction at work?

We have within us the power to draw to us the very experiences and desires we are hoping for, when our thoughts and energy align.

So I calm my anxious thoughts, that are more often than not sitting on the edge of a seat waiting to know the when, every how and all details in between. I instead clear my emotional cache and reset my mental algorithm to “leave room open for beautiful possibilities…” – in every area of life.
